I’ve decided to try my hand at filmmaking. Any suggestions on an inexpensive camera that is user friendly for this writer turned filmmaker? And any other equipment I may need for a 20 minute short?

Hello, Ty. A nice DSLR should work just fine Nikon 7200 or Canon buy them used or reconditioned so that you can get a better deal. And don't forget the lenses. You should also consider purchasing a light kit within your budget. If all else fails, hire me to direct your film. =)

Hi Ty, there are so many affordable options, it just depends on what you are looking for. There is always a learning curve with any camera you buy. I guess it comes down to how much money you want to spend. And how much time do you want to invest in learning how to be a filmmaker? I can give you names of different cameras and options, but it comes down to what your needs are. If you have questions, message me and I might be able to help you out or at least point you in the right direction.

Youtube first five things every director should buy by YCImaging. The first thing he goes over are great cameras for under $1500. All of the ones he list are great, plus the video is 2.5 years old so the cameras are now a little cheaper. Or you can also find the newer models for a good price as well.
